Answer 11

But whats the question??

Answer 12

Independent variable is the one that can be manipulated while independent variable is like the result depending on the value of the independent variable. In simpler words, independent variable is the cause while the dependent variable is the effect.

so for column A, let us check each one of them.
1. days of the week. do you think this can be a cause on why elise should take different routes? if yes then it is an independent, if no then it is dependent.

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

i think yes?

Answer 15

it that right?

Answer 16

yes, so it's an independent variable. :)

next. "number of hours Elise works" can this be a cause or an effect?

Answer 17

ok so... 1 goes with A

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

Ok

Answer 20

effect?

Answer 21

take note of your problem:
"Elise takes the shortest route to work and on Fridays, she takes the longest route. The longer the route Elise takes to work, the more gas she uses."

the number of hours that Elise works don't have anything to do with the problem ^_^ so this would be?

Answer 22

a dependent variable?

Answer 23

if this is a dependent variable, what would be the independent variable for this?

*hint: your problem did not say anything about the number of hours that elise works. It only talks about Elise going to her work

Answer 24

oh so neither the independent nor the dependent variable

Answer 25

right! you're getting it :D

now next... "distance Elise drives to work"
can this be a cause AND effect?

Answer 26

effect

Answer 27

?

Answer 28

yes, that's right.. it can also be an independent.

it is an effect/dependent variable because it is independent to the day of the week, "On Mondays, Elise takes the shortest route to work and on Fridays, she takes the longest route. "

it is a cause/independent variable because the distance traveled causes the amount of gas used.

understood?

Answer 29

so it can be both? both the independent and the dependent variable

Answer 30

yes, do you understand why?

Answer 31

yes becuase its a cause and effect....

Answer 32

then the amount of gas is a depeendent variable

Answer 33

yes!! :D

basically everything is already matched. I just explained it one by one so that its clear to you

Answer 34

ok thx A LOT you really helped me understand :)

Answer 35

anytime ;P
